It's Camp Week!  All of the tutorials that will post this week will be camp projects.  Today is the last day to snag a seat - sof if you wish to come - let me know!  I did get one fall card in - taken from the Annual Catalog.  Didn't want this great bundle to get missed once the Holiday Catalog is released.  See all the bits that I don't use on this card in the tutorial. At camp everyone will be able to choose if their truck hauls pumpkins or balloons.  They can switch up a heart or flannel … [Read more...] about Ride With Me: Stamparatus and Blends Tutorials

Here's a card we will be doing at camp this coming Friday.  I combined a set from the Annual Catalog with the folder that will be released in the Holiday Catalog.  So super simple!  I did it as a Birthday - but obviously it could be a Thank You, Thinking of You - so many options.  Then using it for a recipe card, canning, cookbook collection lends it to even more options.  Think of the fun themed bridal showers you could host with it! Here is the tutorial Because my card is a darker … [Read more...] about Hammered Metal Tuscan Garden Goodness Card and Recipe Card

Today - let's take one last look at the Holiday Catalog before we get some Camp Card Tutorials all in a row!  The fun thing about today's "Holiday Catalog" card?  There is not a Holiday involved!  Here you go: This may be one of the more elegant - yet EASIEST! - wedding cards you ever create! Those of you who stamp with me or watch me know that my favorite cardstock is Shimmery White.  Because this is a wedding card, I used it on the entire card.  The photographs just can't pick up … [Read more...] about Ornate Frame Dies with Here’s To Cheers Wedding Card – Holiday Catalog

I am doing 1 or 2 more cards before moving on to my August Stamp camp projects from the Holiday Catalog.  This week is a little off kilter with some appointments and things in the middle of the week that won't have me on my normal schedule - camp isn't til next week...and I am just itching to use more of the new things.  I will do a couple more that I can show you...but then I will have to focus on some upcoming events we have - and those cards and projects will all be just for the stampers … [Read more...] about How to CASE a Card: Mercury Pumpkin to Mercury Christmas Tree

So this week I have spent a little time in the Pumpkin Patch....it is kind of what happens when you don't really have a plan.  The patchwork pumpkins were the tutorial prior to today's.  I had one leftover pumpkin that needed to be finished coloring (from when I only do part of one during a YouTube).  This one was on Shimmery White cardstock.....didn't want to throw THAT away!  Once it was finished - I added the Over the Moon cow and some other new elements (all that were lying on my rather … [Read more...] about Mercury Glass Pumpkin: Holiday Catalog Sneak Peak Harvest Hellos/Apple Builder Punch

I hope I convinced you of your 'need' for the Brick & Mortar 3D Folder last week during my video series on How To Use Embossing Folders.  You know, the one that ended last week?  Then it didn't. It didn't end because I got this FABULOUS folder as part of my Holiday Catalog 2019 preorder. Before I get going I do want to post these two cards - the top one is my original card and just under is the one I made during the video tutorial. If you notice the Peacock strip - I do … [Read more...] about Hammered Pumpkin Tutorial – Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog

We have come to the end of the tutorial series on Embossing Folders!  This one again just uses the new Brick and Mortar 3D folder. My Holiday Catalog items will be arriving in just a couple of hours.  I will be doing an unboxing video (with 2 orders) this afternoon on our @friendstostamp FB page and then later this afternoon on my personal FB Page (Cheri's Cards) with my daughter and just my box.  On that one we may try to use a couple of the items for you to see.  It will truly be winging … [Read more...] about Last of the Embossing Folder Series – Card with Pressed Petal Washi Tape

Let's close out July with a fun little series on the new 3D Embossing Folders from Stampin' Up! Here is a super quick card for you in my latest tutorial! I love the Bricks.  Love, Love, Love them! If you purchase ANY of the folders that are now called 3D you will need either the new Blue Plate (link is below) or to create a shim with some typing paper to get them to work with your machine.  Fingers crossed that when then new machine is released in the near future from Stampin' Up! we … [Read more...] about Stampin’ Up! 3D Embossing Folders, Pigment Powder Painting and Dyed Tulle Ribbon
